Fully revised to bring all the mapping and geographical information completely up to date, this atlas provides a highly detailed picture of today's world and is the perfect atlas for the home or office. The 200 pages of maps, which have been carefully selected to provide balanced coverage of all regions of the world, have been fully revised from the authoritative Collins Bartholomew geographic databases. The highly respected Bartholomew name has been associated with Times atlases since the early twentieth century. All recent geographical, geopolitical and major environmental changes are reflected in the maps which are beautifully designed for maximum legibility and accessibility. Updated plans of 32 of the world's major cities are included on the relevant regional maps. All places and geographical features named on the maps are included in the comprehensive index which contains over 130,000 entries and includes cross-references to thousands of alternative and former names.
